pom stands for Perverted Old Man. Usually a man over the age of 40 who likes to stare at girls under the age of 18.
Two 14 year old girls standing in their front yard. An older man jogs by and stares at one of the girls boobs. This would be a moment for the young girls to either shout or whisper pom.

Either comes from 'prisoner of mother England' or pomigranite - a reddish coloured fruit that native Australians (Aboriginals) thought had a similar colour to the skin of sunburnt Brits.
Not meant to be an insult (as some English think for some reason), merely a nickname for our less-tanned former rulers. Nicknaming everything is very Australian.
Pom: 'Oi, convict, get your shit stars off our flag!'
Aussie: Fuck off pom, get your shit cricketers off our cricket ovals and give us our fucking ashes - they've been ours since 1989!'

The first written reference to the English being referred to as Pommies (Poms) is contained in letters written from the front lines and trenches of France in 1916.
A traditional French insult for the English is “**pomme de terre avec le visage d'un cochon d’inde**”
“Potato with the face of a Guinea pig”
Shortened to simply “Pomme de Terre”
“Potato” because the French considered the English, dirty, boring and common.
The Australian Soldiers who shared the French Soldiers dislike for the English Officers, but could not speak French, adopted the first word from those derogatory phrases “Pomme” or “Pommes”
Mispronounced, initially, as Pommy or Pommies (possibly due to the spelling Pomme being read as Pommie).
Then shortened to Pom.
Pom does not mean Prisoner of Mother England.
It does not mean Pomegranate.
It has nothing to do with Pom-poms.
It means Potato.
Substantiated by letters from 1916.
And the fact the French, themselves, have long referred to the English as “Potato”.
If you call someone a Pom, you are calling him a “potato”.
The Aussies smashed the Poms in the /World Cup/Cricket/Rugby.

A word that looks like "porn" when read fast. The subject of many top-rated comments on youtube.
That guy says he watches porn! Oh wait, he said he watches pom.
